Hi

I'm trying to use a Godaddy shared server to deliver video using videojs. I seem to only have success when viewing the site through Chrome.

I uploaded four versions of the video I want to play encoded with Miro Video converter on Mac

hoax_commercial_v05_h264_1280.mp4
hoax_commercial_v05_h264_1280.webm
hoax_commercial_v05_h264_1280.theora.ogv
hoax_commercial_v05_h264_1280.flv

and a poster image:

hoax_commercial_poster_sm.jpg

I used the code from http://videojs.com/embed-builder/ with the file path to the videos and poster file (/video_1)

video.js and video-js.css are in the same directory as the pages demo2.html and demo.html

I can only get the video to play properly on Chrome on a mac.

the demos:

http://hoaxfilms.com/demo/demo2.html a pirobox lightbox that opens up a page with one videojs player on the page

http://hoaxfilms.com/demo/demo.html this is the page that the lightbox opens with a videojs player

http://hoaxfilms.com/demo.html - just two videojs players on blank page (referencing different video files)

any advice on better installing the video player?
